compare_counties

Compare specific CDC PLACES measures across multiple counties. Returns a side-by-side comparison of selected health measures for the given counties. Useful for benchmarking one county against peers. Args: fips_list: List of 5-digit county FIPS codes (e.g. ['53033', '53053', '06037']). Maximum 10 counties per request. measures: List of PLACES measure IDs to compare (e.g. ['DIABETES', 'OBESITY']).

Returns up to 36 measures including health outcomes (diabetes, obesity, heart disease, etc.), health behaviors (smoking, binge drinking), preventive services (checkups, screenings), and health status indicators. Args: county_fips: 5-digit county FIPS code (e.g. '53033' for King County, WA). Must be a string, not an integer. year: Optional release year to filter by. Omit for the most recent data.

measure

get_measure_by_state

Get one CDC PLACES measure for all counties in a state. Useful for comparing a specific health metric (e.g. DIABETES, OBESITY) across all counties within a state. Returns the most recent data year. Args: state_abbr: Two-letter state abbreviation (e.g. 'WA', 'CA'). measure_id: PLACES measure ID (e.g. 'DIABETES', 'OBESITY', 'BPHIGH'). Use search_measures to find valid IDs.

CDC PLACES Health Data — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can CDC PLACES Health Data do?

It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: compare_counties, get_county_measures, get_measure_by_state, get_tract_measures, search_measures. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is CDC PLACES Health Data working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 548 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect CDC PLACES Health Data?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does CDC PLACES Health Data need an API key?

No. CDC PLACES Health Data completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 5 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is CDC PLACES Health Data?

It answers our handshake in 548 ms on average, which is faster than 21% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
